Friday October 13, 2017 @ 8:00 PM

This special Remembering Rodney Comedy Night is in tribute to the late, great comedian Rodney Dangerfield. On Friday, October 13th at 8 pm (an ominous date Rodney would have loved), we're bringing you an all-star line-up of comedians to pay tribute to this beloved comedy icon. LINE-UP TO BE ANNOUNCED!

Rodney Dangerfield (November 22, 1921 – October 5, 2004) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, producer and screenwriter known for the catchphrase "I don't get no respect!" and his monologues on that theme. Rodney got his big break on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1967, when he successfully made the notoriously stone-faced Sullivan laugh. From there, Rodney made frequent appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show, the Dean Martin Show, and the Tonight Show. In 1969, Rodney Dangerfield teamed up with longtime friend Anthony Bevacqua to build the Dangerfield's comedy club in New York City, which has been in continuous operation for over 40 years and helped popularize many standup comics, including Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Tim Allen, Roseanne Barr, Robert Townsend, Jeff Foxworthy, Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks, Rita Rudner, Andrew Dice Clay, Louie Anderson, Dom Irrera and Bob Saget. Rodney's 1980 comedy album No Respect, won a Grammy Award. He went on to star in famous comedy films such as Caddyshack (1980), Easy Money (1983), and Back to School (1986).
